A light rod and very light in the hand. Loads smoothly. Good roll-caster – with feel. Casting short to medium distances, loop control, turnover and presentation are excellent; good at longer range. Plenty ‘feel’ from this rod helped by a nicely shaped and sized grip. Feels right for rivers and sea-trout, with an #8 line if needed. On stillwaters it has the finesse for dries or nymphs.
